Route 52 A Big Lump Of Country UnknownOn the surface, Prangahau is a classic Aotearoa coastal village. Across the river bridge, a turn of the century timber hotel stands prominent. Opposite, a blindingly blue Tip Top dairy serves ice cream, fishnchips, and mail. The corner garage has a car on one hoist, a tractor on the other, and a quad bike waiting its turn. Past the fire station, the wharenui like war memorial hall lies waiting, too, for the next community fundraiser or ANZAC service.
